MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1965 Ladies Garden Club Hears Rev. McBride On "Color" Lecturing on "Color in the Home", the Rev. Claude Mc- Bride was the featured speak- er at the October 6 meeting of the Ladies Garden Club at the YWCA. Rev. McBride, pastor of the Milledge Avenue Bap- tist Church was introduced by the President, Mrs. John Bondurant, who noted his ac- complishments as a pastor, journalist, athletic enthusiast and flower arranger. Demonstrating with both dried and live materials, Rev. McBride wittily described the advantages of using readily available items. He particular- ly stressed the opinion that the only acceptable use for artificial flowers is in dried arrangements, and this only after floral lacquer enhance- ment to a natural dried ap- pearance. He also recom- mended using floral lacquer to brighten natural materials. His point was well carried as he sprayed a variety of ber- ries, greenery, dried flowers, and containers with an assort- ment of such colors as red- gold, Flemish-gold, and green-gold. Rev. McBride re- iterated his opening statement that natural variety of both color and line are desirable. He concluded saying that col- or should follow the season; that natural flowers offer the best color usage for the sea- son during which they blos- som. The program and business session were preceded by a social hour. Refreshments were served from a lace cov- ered table centered by a mass arrangement of roses, tube- roses and dahlias. Hostesses were Mrs. E. D. Smith, chair- man, Mrs. W. F. McLendon, Mrs. Arthur Darden, Otey Vincent, Mrs. Robert Winter, Mrs. Garland Hulme and Mrs. M. D. Watson. Mrs. Ellis Dixon brought a beauti- Miss ful arrangement of her roses for the speaker's table. Mrs. Bondurant briefed the membership on board deci- sions and on related events which had occurred during the summer adjournment. The group was told of the receipt of a gift honoring the late Mrs. M. R. Redwine and that an appropriate use of this memorial gift would be decided at a future meeting. A motion was passed unani- mously citing Mrs. Irving Martin, a former member, for her outstanding service. to the Ladies Garden Club and expressing the club's appre- ciation for her work and devo- tion. Mrs. Ellis Dixon the corresponding secretary was requested to inform Mrs. Martin of this motion. A progress report was given on the club's project to secure a U. S. Commemorative Pos- tage Stamp in 1966 to honor the founding of the Ladies Garden Club Movement in America. She urged all members and other interested persons in this area to write a brief letter of endorsement to Lawrence F. O'Brien, Post- master General, Washington, D. C. 20260, as soon as possi- ble. A report was made of the Garden Club Council meeting, at which Mrs. O. C. Aderhold, HANDS chairman, had relat- ed progress and plans in the anti-litter campaign, beautifi- cation drive and wayside parks projects.

Folding screen partition is covered with a plastic quilted material. Tiny Babies Need Space BY KAY SHERWOOD Newspaper Enterprise Assn. As any parent will tell you, babies only come in small, adorable sizes. But the equip- ment needed to house, feed and clothe that small, adora- ble package can quickly grow into king-sized problems where space is limited. The problem is related to what equipment is designated as "essential." I have decided that only the parents can say what is truly essential for their baby. Is a bassinet es- sential when a crib will be needed in about three or four months? The answer is "Yes" with some parents; "No" with others. When a baby will share a bedroom with his parents or other children, his quarters should be screened off with a folding screen, or a similar light and noise barrier, I think. Most babies are scheduled for a layette. The "essentials" vary but a basic list in a pam- phlet distributed in infant's departments. (by Curity) gives a guideline. I have learned you can usually do with less than a "basic" list if you have ready access to a washing machine and drying facilities. One improvement in baby equipment is the variety of cute cotton knits and terry cloth clothes designed for the very young baby. These are the no-iron type shirts, gowns, sacques and pants which have color and pattern but are fast wash-and-dry. New and good-looking nur- sery furniture includes pieces which can serve teen-agers as well as babies. For example, a walnut chest of drawers with a cup- board on the side. In early years, little snow suits, sleep- ers, and so on, hang in the cupboard; later, sweaters, skirts and blouses fill the space. The finish of the wood (dark or medium) and the clean design fits this nursery furniture for a long life.

Old wicker storage chests which swing open have been undated by modern versions which slide open on rollers. These come with a foam rub- ber pad on top to flip over on the opened frame to make a handy dressing stand. The bathinette may still suit most mothers as a combina- tion bath and, with the top down, dressing table. The best of these have wide safety straps to hold the baby and plastic covered foam rubber pads. An equally good bath can be given in a plastic tub or the kitchen sink, as I know from experience. New plastic carriers for in- fants have been enthusiasti- cally endorsed by every moth- er I've talked to. These shaped holders make feeding and transporting easier, they tell me. A piece of equipment I would consider essential is a rocking chair, old or new. Gentle rocking is a mutually beneficial tranquilizer for mother or dad and the baby. A rag rug, a sec- ond-hand carpet, a rubber- backed synthetic can be as ef- fective as expensive wall-to- wall covering.

Home Demonstration clubs have more recently been named Extention Home Eco- nomics clubs and the title of home demonstration agent has been changed officially to extention home economist. Each of the five clubs in Clarke County has scheduled a meeting for this month to explain these changes to members.

Mrs. Alma Jenkins, hostess, served Ruth Millett Mother-to-Daughter Tips Help Marriage Every mother ought to tell her daughter: That a man may improve with marriage, but she had better not count on it. That certain undesirable traits in a man are almost sure to get worse instead of better as time goes on. These include stinginess, laziness, a wandering eye and a bad dis- position. That many a wife who of- fered to work for "a year or two" after marriage discov- ers that a husband easily grows accustomed to the ex- tras two pay checks provide and the "year or two" stretches on and on. That if she doesn't want to pick up after her husband all the days of her life she had better not ever start it. a variety of cookies and cof- fee to the 13 members and 4 visitors present. Visitors were Mesdames Inez Holliday, De- catur; Ellen Hammond, Abbe- ville, S. C.; Howard Martin and Marcelle Smith, Hull and Neese respectively. Nov. meeting will be held in Sanford Community Center, Mrs. Lester, hostess. That the greatest threat to marriage is boredom so a wife should keep things stirred up enough to be inter- esting. That nagging a man will get her nowhere. That the wifely words a husband resents the most are "I told you so." That the most sensible thing to do about a husband's faults and shortcomings is to accept. them and work around them. That when a husband tells a funny story a good wife's laughter leads all the rest, no matter how many times she has heard the story before. That in-laws who give a young couple "everything" al- most always include a lot of advice with the loot. That if a woman puts her children ahead of her husband she shouldn't be surprised if he puts something or some- body ahead of her. That a husband who is used to being told he is wonderful by his wife isn't flattered out of his mind if some other woman happens to tell him the same thing. Girls who start their mar- riages knowing even. that much about men are likely to get along pretty well.
